The city of Yamoussoukro includes many private gardens. It has more than thirty private gardens with a consequent biodiversity. The present study made it possible to evaluate the layout of the private gardens of Yamoussoukro. To achieve this goal, a floristic inventory was carried out using two complementary methods. During the inventory, plots were installed. Also, the measurement of trees with a diameter at breast height greater than 2.5 cm was noted. Densities, basal areas, biomass and carbon stocks and diversity indices were calculated. A total of 5269 individuals were counted, of which 2184 have a DBH ≥ 2.5 cm. Senna siamea is the most representative species with 10% of the population. The species of special status identified and the high biomass show that a look must be given to private gardens that can be environments for biodiversity conservation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
